The Democrat presidential primary field is expanding and morphing at a pace rivaling that of the Blob in the eponymous 1958 Steve McQueen sci-fi movie, with Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke about to be the latest Democrat to be absorbed into its formless bulk.

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders raised $6 million in the first 24 hours after he announced his campaign for President. These donors are not attracted by his charismatic good looks – which are totally absent – nor are they attracted by his oratorical skills, again absent, what they are attracted to are his Socialist policies and his record of fighting for them.

Nothing illustrates how far Left the Democratic Party has moved than the reaction of the Democrats’ most popular and media savvy politicians to the news that Amazon was abandoning plans to build part of its East Coast headquarters in the New York city of Long Island City.

Even if Senator Elizabeth Warren could do what Hillary Clinton couldn’t and put her character questions to rest next year, the damage is done. That bell can’t be unrung. Unlike 2016, liberal voters drawn to Warren’s message have other options to choose from. If you think Warren’s attacks on free enterprise or her wealth distribution schemes are what this country needs, there’s a host of other candidates to choose from without Warren’s scar tissue.

Senator Elizabeth Warren’s early dive into identity politics and racial preferences in hiring has guaranteed that her 2020 presidential campaign will become an agonizing genealogy project and provide another example of Trump’s awesome power to make Democrats do dumb stuff.

Nothing President Trump does, inlcuding signing a Proclamation honoring Dr. Martin Luther King and laying a wreath at his memorial will ever satisfy his enemies, who used those presidential ceremonies to scurrilously attack him as a racist.

In the face of the threats we face from states such as China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, this is not a good moment to cut defense spending. Warren has at least put a foreign policy outlook on the table for others to pick over. For that, she deserves a lot of credit. But her foray into this topic should serve as a warning to other Democrats that they're going to have to do better, and that that might not be so easy to do if they intend to keep their left-wing base happy.

We’re too busy to care about immutable characteristics, and even if we weren’t we wouldn’t do it because we think caring about that stuff is stupid. Our elite, on the other hand, appears to have nothing better to do than obsess about who fits in what category. Why? Well, our elite’s track record over recent decades is pretty much an unbroken series of failures and fiascos. Since they can’t actually do anything, they really have little else to distinguish themselves with besides their membership (or fake membership) in some oppressed group.

None of the supportive (of Warren's claim to DNA proof of Native American ancestry) network evening newscasts — on ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS — mentioned Warren listing herself as a minority for years when she was a college professor, and none of them could locate the outrage from the Cherokee Nation. None concluded she is a fraud. If this outbreak of cheerleading for Warren's rampant dishonesty marks the beginning point of media coverage of the 2020 presidential campaign, it's off to a dismal start.

Warren wants to be seen as part of the Democrats' ancestry is destiny coalition. She can’t be unless she can claim victimization on grounds of something beyond sex — female status isn’t enough these days. Thus, Warren, using a perversely race-centric view of the world that suggests one drop of Native American blood renders you Native American, has classified herself with emerging future of the Democratic party rather than with its demographic past. The saga of Elizabeth Warren demonstrates once again that the ugly new identity politics dominating the Left drives its own acolytes to radical dishonesty.

Elizabeth Warren's newest claim that she’s an American Indian exposes Ms. Warren as a fraud — a liar. Americans don’t like liars. While she was attempting to put this credibility problem away long before she runs for president, she’s made it all much, much worse. If she’ll lie about something so meaningless, how can anyone trust her on issues that really matter? One thing is for sure: If Ms. Warren wins the Democratic nomination, Mr. Trump will be calling her “Pocahontas” right up to Election Day 2020. Although he might simply start calling her what she really is: Liar.

Mrs. Warren repaired to eugenics and higher math the other day, all to prove that she’s enough Indian to be chief squaw on the reservation. She sent off to have her genes examined and they came back with barely a passing grade. Someone has suggested that the president should, in a burst of charity, send Mrs. Warren a check for $976.56, or about 1/1024th of a million dollars, since Mrs. Warren is 1/1024th of an Indian. Any woman, or man, recruited from the street to submit to an ancestry test would find out that he or she is kin to the darnedest people. It’s the source of our nation’s pride.

President Donald Trump seems to effortlessly induce Democrats to do dumb stuff that exposes their lies, hypocrisy and contempt for the intelligence of their fellow Americans. The President’s latest triumph in this regard is the revelation of the results of Senator Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren’s DNA test.

Open boders Democrats and their enablers in the Leftwing media want you to forget the brutal murder of Mollie Tibbetts at the hands of an illegal alien because she was just some "white girl" from Iowa.

Indiana's Democratic Senator Joe Donnelly’s carefully cultivated image as a “conservative Democrat” is in shambles, because not only was it a fraud to begin with, but it is now a position that is decidedly out of favor among the Democratic Party’s most motivated voters.

Warren's not only raking in huge amounts of wampum, she’s building up political IOUs in states without whose electoral votes no presidential candidate can expect to make it to the Big White Teepee. And to punch up her résumé, she has gone on the warpath against the opioid crisis using the same kind of phony stats she used in her medical bankruptcy studies. Yet she declines repeated requests for a DNA sample that would prove she’s a genuine Native American.

A century from now, our successors are likely to be as bewildered by the classifications of affirmative action and designated safe spaces as we are by segregation and “separate but equal” schools. A century after the Civil War, in reaction to the legacy of the Confederacy, progressives fought for integration; a century and a half after the Civil War, progressives are channeling the one-drop rule and advocating race-based dorms, safe spaces, and race-themed houses.

Warren sits on the Banking Committee. Everyone knows she wants to run for president. Wall Street won't risk telling her to buzz off. What better way to gain control over the political activities of powerful companies than to increase the regulation and subsidization of top financiers? Washington is a tawdry place, and politicians often conceal their motives. Warren, by contrast, doesn't try very hard to hide what she's up to.

Warren’s supporters point to the fact that Scott Brown, her 2012 Senate opponent, didn’t seem to profit from his campaign’s emphasis on the “fake Indian” issue. But once she’s competing for liberal votes in Democratic primaries, rather than counting, as she did then, on her party uniting behind her no matter what the opposition says, it will be a very different story. She’ll likely discover that the game she’s playing is a lot more dangerous on the national stage than it was in Massachusetts.

Civil Investigative Demands have become weapons of the administrative state. They have even exceeded their New Deal origins, and have become perhaps the most dangerous institutionalized violation of the Bill of Rights.
